THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL
STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT
SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE
OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Chassis Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco NCS 6008 chassis.
•Chassis Overview, page 2-1
•Chassis Components, page 2-4
•Safety Guidelines, page 2-7
Chassis Overview
The Cisco NCS 6008 chassis is a mechanical enclosure that contains a chassis midplane and packet
interfaces on line cards cross-connected to each other through a switch fabric. The chassis has eight slots
at the front for Line Cards (LCs), two slots at the rear for Route Processor (RP) cards, and six slots at
the rear for Fabric Cards (FCs).
The Cisco NCS 6008 chassis has an integrated rack and does not require an external rack. It is bolted to
the facility floor. It contains its own power and cooling systems. Power systems are available using AC
or DC power.
The Cisco NCS 6008 chassis is a highly scalable routing system with redundancy and reliability features
that allow for nonstop operation even during service upgrades of equipment, with no single points of
failure in hardware or software. The routing system has the potential to expand from a single-chassis to
multichassis configuration for even greater routing capacity.
Note The installation of a Cisco NCS 6008 chassis may require space, floor loading, power, and cooling
modifications to a facility. Therefore, you should plan the site well in advance of the scheduled delivery
of the chassis system. For site preparation information, see the Cisco Network Convergence System 6000
Series Routers Site Planning Guide.

Chassis Components
Chassis Components
Table 2-1 lists the main components of the Cisco NCS 6008 chassis. It identifies the components that are
considered field replaceable units (FRUs), but where additional detail is useful, identifies
sub-assemblies that are not field replaceable.
Table 2-1 Main Components of the Cisco NCS 6008 Chassis
Component Description
Chassis midplane Distributes power and provides management, control, and data
interconnections for other components in the system. Each LC is
connected through the midplane to the FCs. The midplane is not field
replaceable by the user.
Route Processor (RPs)
Card
Two RP cards (RP0/RP1) are inserted into the rear of the chassis. These
cards provide the intelligence of the system by functioning as the system
controller and providing route processing and chassis management. The
RP cards also monitor system alarms and control the system fans. The
LEDs on the front panel indicate active alarm conditions.
Fabric Cards (FCs) Six FCs are inserted into the rear of the chassis. The FCs provide the
switch fabric for the routing system and performs the cross-connect
function of the routing system, connecting every LC to each other. The
switch fabric receives ingress user data from one LC slot and performs the
switching necessary to route the data to the appropriate egress LC slot.
Line Cards (LCs) As many as eight LCs can be inserted into the front of the chassis. These
cards provide the physical interfaces and optical connections for the user
data.
Fan Trays Two redundant fan trays are inserted into the front of the chassis. Each fan
tray contains six axial fans. The fans pull cooling air through the chassis
from the front to rear.
Air Filter A removable air filter is located at the bottom of the chassis, below the
card cage, and inside the front air intake.
Power Trays Six power trays provide redundant power to the chassis. Both AC and DC
power trays are available. A power tray is a field serviceable unit (FSU).
•An AC power tray holds up to three AC power modules (PMs).
•A DC power tray holds up to four DC PMs.
•A mixture of AC and DC power is not supported in the chassis.
Note You must power off the chassis before replacing a power tray.
Cable management
brackets
Four horizontal cable management brackets are located on the front-side
and rear-side of the chassis.
•The front of the chassis has one bracket above the LC cage and another
one below.
•The rear of the chassis has one bracket above the card cage and
another one below.
Cable troughs Four vertical cable troughs for cable management (two on the front-side
and two on the rear-side of the chassis).

This section identifies the location and slot numbers for system components that plug into the chassis.
Figure 2-3 shows the slot numbers on the front (LC) side of the chassis.
Figure 2-3 Cisco NCS 6008 Chassis Slot Numbers—Front Side
As shown, the front (LC) side of the chassis has the following card slots:
•Eight LC slots (left to right: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).
•Two fan trays for redundancy. The fan trays are accessed from the front side of the chassis.
•Six power trays for redundancy.
The upper three AC power trays (0-2) are contained within power shelf 0 (PS0) and the lower three
AC power trays (3-5) are contained within power shelf 1 (PS1).
